“Hello everyone, my name is Phạm Thuỷ Linh. I am a 9th-grader at Le Quy Don Secondary School, Ha Giang 1 ward. Born and raised in a remote area where opportunities to see the world were limited, I grew up believing that there was always something beyond the horizon waiting to be discovered. Curiosity soon became my greatest companion, leading me to books, news, and stories from every corner of the globe. Before long, I realized that I didn’t just want to read those stories- I wanted to be the teller. Writing has since become my way of exploring the world, making sense of complex issues, and connecting local experiences with global conversations. As a newspaper writer, I hope every article I write encourages readers to look a little further, think a little deeper, and never stop asking questions,” said Linh.
